Yes, we do love our Tracfones. We have been with Tracfone for coming up on ten years and are fiercely loyal. No contracts, they work when others don't, double minutes for life and great customer service. Thanks, we'll keep our Tracfones. Sounds like this complaint should be against Radio Shack for lousy customer service.

Star, did you know tracfone now offers triple minutes. But its on the higher priced phones I'm considering on upgrading my tracfone phone.

Thanks for the info, Wally. I waws just commenting to Crystal the other day how soon we would see smart phones from Tracfone.

The one I want is a Motorola EX124G
TOUCH SCREEN. goes for $79.99 so far I have only been able to find the phone on their site. but I figure it will pay off in the long run with the savings on minutes.

I used to have a Tracfone as a backup and I keep on adding minutes to keep it active but I never use the phone. So I finally sold to my friend.

Wally, with your logic, you might as well get an Android phone starting at $100 at Virgin Mobile and the cheap monthly plans will pay for the phone itself.

MRM, I hardly use half of the minutes I have on my tracfone. I don't wanna pay $30 a month on some overpriced phone that I will only use occasionally.


When I need to text I use an app on my ipod touch that gives me a free number I can call people on it and text for free. Saves me a lot of time and minutes.

Android is the hot ticket. Open source, fast and inexpensive. iPhones are yesterdays expensive news. Without Steve at the helm Android is going to take iPhone to school on phones.

Right on point, Old Timer! Wally, while you dont talk that much, you certainly can read My3Cents, weather, news, Facebook, with unlimted data plan for only $35! Get your Android phone today!
